Beng San, I have an unfinished date with her

The "Star Gate" containing the [Branches of Overflowing Light] also disappeared in this town.

"Your Majesty Bishop, the data of this experiment has been recorded."

The machine beside Otto made a staff voice.

"Okay, stop the experiment temporarily."

Otto said as he pressed his temples to relieve himself. Although it is impossible for this soul steel body to be so-called "tired", the mental burden of using power is indeed real.

He looked at his feet, his gaze seemed to penetrate dozens of floors and the earth.

Beneath that, there was a huge locomotive-like thing that gave out the last bit of buzz.

"If the beacon is missing, then I have to do it by myself." Otto said, lowering his arm and returning his posture to the "bishop" look: "However, for now, I can make pretty fast progress on my own."

"Right, Youlandel, your spatial perception talent should be able to sense it."

Hollander, who had just cleared away the surrounding Honkai Beasts and arrived at the top floor through the floating module of the Valkyrie Armor a few minutes ago, walked up from behind: "Yes, Bishop Otto... passed through the Quantum Sea. , I already feel the thing you are pursuing."

As she spoke, she looked at Otto's hand, the hand that had just outputted strange power.

She couldn't hide any emotions, and her expression of thinking and doubt was very obvious.

"Oh~" Otto chuckled and moved his hand following Hollander's gaze: "You are very concerned about this."

"..." Youlandel said "You're kidding me".

Otto laughed and spread his arms: "You will know one day, but I won't tell you."

"Oh - I understand." Youlandel sighed and stroked her forehead speechlessly. She hated the Riddler.

But there are many Riddlers around her...

A small airborne landing craft also came to the top to pick up the two people.

Otto sat among them, leaning against the bulkhead with his eyes closed to relax and relieve his mental fatigue.

But Youlandel was sitting seriously, as if she wanted to distinguish herself from Otto.

After a while, the two landed on the large transport ship and headed towards the Tianming headquarters.

"Is there anything you want? Hollander." Otto asked Hollander in the lounge on the transport ship.

"Single-handedly clearing out so many Honkai incidents and Honkai beasts around the world, and doing a good job guarding the Second God Key experimental project - a reward should be given."

"Go ahead."

Hollander looked at Otto... Otto already knew what she wanted to know most.

But he asked this question, asking what he wanted.

That's obvious - if that doesn't work, you really have to find it out on your own...

So is there anything else you want?

...

Youlandel suddenly realized that she really didn't seem to want anything.

She was startled.

When did you live such a peaceful life?

Apart from exercising, eating, shopping, and defeating Honkaiju, he seems to have nothing to do... He's almost like a tool.

Fortunately, Rita is by his side.

Seeing that Hollander didn't reply for a long time, Otto opened his eyes and saw her bowing her head in deep thought.

As a human spirit who spent more than 500 years becoming a demon, he immediately understood what Youlandel was struggling with.

If you have no hope, then I will give you hope.

"Since you can't think of it, let me give you a task that's like a holiday." Otto raised a hand to make a gesture and said with a smile: "Go to the Far East Branch to serve as an examiner for the A-level Valkyrie assessment. Recently, My lovely granddaughter has applied for several places. By the way, you can also travel and vacation in China and the Far East. China is a good place to travel."

"Examiner? Me?" Youlandel was a little confused. After all, she was stronger, but the examiner.

I really haven't done it myself.

"Oh Huo~ You are Hollander. It doesn't matter if you have never been an examiner. You will learn it soon. Besides, there are standard regulations. At worst, you can bring Rita with you." Otto's face became interested and he continued. To: "And...apply for a Valkyrie in the A-level Valkyrie assessment, her name is——"

"Kiana."

Hearing this, Youlandel was extremely surprised and subconsciously repeated: "Qi... Anna?"

Then he raised his head suddenly and calmed down completely: "Kiana Kaslana!"

"That's right, Kaslana... and her mother, Shaniyat, are all at St. Freya Academy... It's up to you whether you want to accept them or not."

"..."

Youlandel's hand on her lap tightened: "Take it!"

Otto smiled with satisfaction and closed his eyes again to rest.

"Kiana——! You touched my snack again!"

A voice sounded in the principal's room in St. Freya Academy, causing the birds outside the building to fly.

Fortunately, St. Freya Academy is not small, so not many students heard it, so the (great) Academy Principal was not disgraced.

"No!" Kiana was sitting on the sofa in the principal's room, flipping through the Homu comics in her hand, eating potato chips and drinking Coke and said, "I don't like bitter melon juice!"

"I drank Coke!"

"..." Theresa stood in front of the door with her left hand on her hips. Her arrogance also faded a bit. Even the right index finger pointing at Kiana shook a bit and was no longer so straight.

"Ahem!"

But soon, Theresa cleared her throat and shouted again: "Kiana, who told you to touch my cabinet at will? Don't you understand that you can't enter and rummage in the principal's office!"

This time it really hit Kiana's fate.

Kiana was stunned and found it difficult to respond for a moment, which made Theresa feel proud.

"Humph - why don't you put back the principal's things?" Theresa said in a pretentious voice.

"Eh - I don't -" At this point, Kiana suddenly understood. She looked at the comic in her hand, and a strange smile appeared on her face.

Kiana put down the comics, with a smile on her face, and walked up behind Theresa, pushed her to sit on the sofa, and said in a flattering tone: "Auntie, you don't want people to know that you are secretly hiding in the office. Let’s read comics~”

"Uh-you!"

"Hmm~" Kiana moved the comic book in front of Theresa. The yellow leather doll and the pink doll on the cover were so obvious.

"You - you -" Theresa was furious and crossed her arms in anger.

"Hey hey hey~" Kiana didn't press too hard. She was very clever and put the comics on Theresa's lap. Her voice was sweet: "My dear Aunt Theresa, you are my relative. Let me take a look. Your comics are nothing, right?"

"How about I tell you later?"

"Hehe, it's not like you don't know that my mother doesn't give me much pocket money, so a comic book like this is quite expensive."

"Are you okay~my principal~" Kiana hugged Theresa and rocked her sweetly.

"Uh-ok!"

After all, Teresa can't defeat Kiana's sweet offensive, but she must preach!

"Kiana, I said you are 17 years old, and you are about to become an adult. It's okay to act coquettishly in front of elders like me, but you have to pay attention to your manners when you go out. Do you understand?" Theresa hugged the serious girl with her arms. Preaching: "Look at your mother, what a lady she is."

"You don't have to follow your father's example, you know?"

"You combine Kaslana and Shaniyat into one. You are both a [Saint] and a [Knight]. There will definitely be many Valkyries who will worship you in the future."

"Image is very important and must be maintained, understand?"

"I know, Auntie~" Kiana also sat up seriously, her posture, oh--you can tell from a glance that she has practiced a lot.

"I understand the reason why you maintain your image in St. Freya Academy like this every day."

Theresa looked Kiana up and down, and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, she is half as good as your mother."

"Eh——? Liar."

"How could I lie to you? Cecilia was worshiped by thousands of people at the beginning, and all the Valkyries of Destiny admired her."

"Oh...Okay, I will try my best."

"Then goodbye aunt, I'm going to train~" Seeing that the momentum was wrong, Kiana was afraid that she would fall into Theresa's nostalgia and praise for Cecilia's deeds, so she immediately stood up and wanted to leave.

"Wait a moment!"

Kiana had already touched the door, so she had no choice but to turn around and ask: "What are you doing?"

"Hmm." Theresa coughed and said seriously: "Grandpa's notice is here. It comes from the headquarters. The examiner responsible for your A-level Valkyrie assessment has been sent over. She is one of the S-level Valkyrie, Youlandel. We will arrive at St. Freya Academy in about an hour, go and pick us up in front of the gate——"

"Remember to be elegant and leave a good impression, okay?"

"Examiner?...Oh! I almost forgot, I understand, auntie."

"Don't worry, it's just an A-level Valkyrie test. It's easy - I want to be the strongest Valkyrie in my destiny!"

"Bye~~~" Saying that, Kiana quickly turned around, leaving a beautiful figure with white hair in double Roman curls and the closed office door to Theresa.

Theresa stroked her forehead, and her tone was full of helplessness: "This girl, it will be nice when she becomes more mature."

"It's all his fault, Siegfried, for taking Kiana to make trouble!"

"Not ladylike at all!"

"If only I were more like Cecilia..."

"..."

"In the blink of an eye, I'm 17 years old." Theresa said, looking out the office window.

Just mumbling, of course she wouldn't really blame Siegfried...

After all, the years that shaped Kiana's good character were really important - fortunately, Siegfried was there in the early stage, and Cecilia came back later, so that Kiana did not lack the warmth of family.

In addition to the liveliness that comes from Kaslana, Kiana has not thrown away the strong, gentle, elegant and beautiful beauty that comes from Cecilia.

Thinking about it, Theresa became worried again.

"After more than ten years of stability, things are beginning to feel uneasy again."

"Snatch the Herrscher core."

"Although Honkai events occur frequently, the Fifth Herrscher was also born..."

"Kiana... quickly become stronger."

...

Kiana definitely didn’t know what Theresa expected.

She is not rebellious, and she remembers the teachings of her elders.

Just like what Theresa said before.

Kiana was walking in St. Freya Academy. Her movements were not the exaggerated pretense of being "delicate", "elegant" and "noble".

Rather, it is because the body is well developed and flawless, the waist and back are naturally erect, and the spirit is still there.

The self-confidence born from her own strength is vividly displayed in Kiana at this moment.

Especially when combined with her pretty face and Ruowu smile, people can feel her easy-going and calm attitude.

This kind of strength that comes from the heart really makes people admire you.

Just like her mother, Cecilia Shaniat.

Cecilia relied on that kind of strength, confidence, gentleness and strength to win the yearning of almost the entire destiny - including Theresa.

...

However, few people know that Cecilia's strength is not innate... but acquired from Siegfried.

And now, Kiana must have obtained it from Siegfried.

Theresa firmly believed that her niece could surpass herself, surpass Cecilia, surpass Siegfried, and become [Kiana]

"Kiana-san, good afternoon."
